Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is progressing well, giving possibility that the Real Madrid defender might return in time to face his previous club Liverpool in November's Champions League match.
The English international suffered a hamstring injury while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the fifth minute, with initial reports pointing to a potential layoff of as long as a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—precisely over a month since the incident happened.
Insiders familiar with the situation indicate that the player's healing process is advancing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his first return to Liverpool's stadium since signing for Los Blancos in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that leaving the team he entered as a six-year-old youth talent was the "toughest decision he has ever taken."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 games, contributing to claim multiple Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across various tournaments, accumulating 156 minutes of playing time.
